The National Science Foundation Division of Astronomical Sciences awarded a $496,234 Project Grant to the University of Illinois under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.049). The grant will fund collaborative research to explore the formation and growth of supermassive black holes through variability and transients observations. Researchers will use data from the Young Supernova Experiment imaging survey to identify intermediate mass black holes and study...
This $442,985 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences Program (CFDA 47.049) aims to uncover the growth mechanisms of supermassive black holes. The key objectives are to: 1) Determine the merger rates of supermassive black holes and relate them to gravitational wave observations; 2) Investigate the growth of supermassive black holes during their peak activity period (known as "cosmic noon") and its connection to accretion...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) in the amount of $159,547 supports a collaborative research effort to study the growth mechanisms of supermassive black holes. The research aims to determine the merger rates of these black holes and relate them to gravitational wave observations, investigate black hole growth during the peak period of activity, and map the complete history of black hole accretion. The...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a 3-year, $500,133 Project Grant to the University of Arizona under the Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program. Through this grant, the research team will conduct a systematic study of the diverse outflows that occur during tidal disruption events, when a star is scattered into the gravitational pull of a supermassive black hole. The researchers will use radio and millimeter observations to track the evolution of...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program provides $377,113 to the University of Hawaii at Manoa to uncover the secrets behind the growth of supermassive black holes located at the centers of galaxies. The project aims to 1) determine the merger rates of supermassive black holes and relate these to gravitational wave observations, 2) investigate the growth of supermassive black holes during the peak period of...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $153,355 Project Grant to the University of Alaska Anchorage under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to advance the understanding of the relationship between supermassive black holes and their host galaxies. The 3-year award will support a comprehensive study of the regions surrounding black holes in a large sample of nearby active galactic nuclei. Key activities include measuring the distribution and motions of molecular,...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.049) supports a collaborative research project that aims to uncover the growth mechanisms of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) at the centers of galaxies. The $588,357 award, effective September 1, 2024, will be utilized by Yale University to pursue three key objectives: 1) determine SMBH merger rates and relate them to gravitational wave observations, 2)...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program, CFDA 47.049, provides $506,976 to Georgia State University Research Foundation Inc. to support research on supermassive black holes. The primary objectives are to map the flows of gas into and out of the centers of accreting supermassive black holes using a combination of reverberation mapping and X-ray spectroscopy techniques. This research will address key questions about how black...
This $318,259 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program will fund research into tidal disruption events involving supermassive black holes. A collaborative team from the University of California, Santa Cruz, University of California, Berkeley, and Northwestern University will conduct computational modeling and numerical experiments to advance understanding of key physical processes governing stellar tidal disruptions and the subsequent...
This National Science Foundation project grant of $104,875 awarded on January 1, 2023 will fund research into measuring fluctuations in radiation from active supermassive black holes and the resulting echoes from surrounding gas clouds. Led by researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), this two-year project will use reverberation mapping with multi-object spectroscopy to measure black hole masses on an unprecedented...
